#11: Memento
Christopher Nolan’s Memento flips storytelling on its head with a guy who can’t form new memories hunting his wife’s killer. Guy Pearce covers himself in tattoos and Polaroids to keep track, unfolding the plot backward so you’re piecing clues together right alongside him in total confusion.
The reverse chronology isn’t just a gimmick—it’s a brilliant way to mirror his fractured mind, turning a revenge thriller into a mind-twisting puzzle that leaves you questioning every detail long after the credits roll.
